Chapter 1 Since the Formation of the Team

Since Xu Yan and the others formed their team, the number of members had expanded to twenty, most of whom were students from the command department. The rest were people he had pulled from the Niuren Tribe (lit. Awesome People Tribe). They had successfully completed several dungeon runs, and the team's equipment had quickly improved. Under Xu Yan's influence, several talented command department students had also joined the Niuren Tribe.

Xu Yan, Fei Zhe, and Xia Tianyu's prestige in the command department rose sharply. As for Zhao Shiyu, Fu Guangtao, Bai Jun, and others, they felt increasingly isolated. Naturally, Zhao Shiyu and the others were unwilling to accept this, and the friction between the two sides intensified.

"Should we go to the Skeleton Mine in the Youming Marsh (lit. Nether Marsh)?" Chu Chenghao suggested, looking at Xu Yan. In the past, they wouldn't have dared to even think about it. The Skeleton Cave was a relatively high-level level 90 dungeon, but now, they were almost ready.

Their team's equipment had undergone tremendous changes during this period.

"We'll go to the Skeleton Mine tomorrow!" Xu Yan said after a moment of thought.

As usual, they left Carol City and led the team towards the north. There were many players grinding and leveling up along the way. As they passed through a forest, more and more players gathered around them, numbering about a hundred.

Xu Yan immediately realized something was wrong.

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

"It's Fu Guangtao and those guys!"

Xu Yan and the others saw Zhao Shiyu, Fu Guangtao, and Bai Jun leading a hundred people surrounding them.

"Damn it, let's see where you run today! I've finally cornered you, and I won't be able to quell my hatred unless I kill you. Especially you, Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe, don't think that just because you're hanging out with a rich guy in the game I can't do anything to you," Fu Guangtao sneered. They had been stalking Xu Yan and the others for so long, and they had finally found an opportunity.

Zhao Shiyu crossed her arms, looking down on them condescendingly, "Why are we wasting time talking to them? Let's just kill them quickly so we can team up and run dungeons together."

"The equipment on those three kids is so good, let's get a few pieces and split them up."

Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, and Fei Zhe exchanged glances. The situation was very unfavorable for them. Fu Guangtao had so many people; they could be overwhelmed even if they were just swarmed.

"All team members, follow me and charge out!" Xu Yan said in a low voice in the team chat. Being the leader of a team was a great experience. After being the leader for so long, Xu Yan had developed a shrewd and capable aura.

Xu Yan charged forward, rushing outwards.

Xia Tianyu and Fei Zhe tacitly activated their firepower to support Xu Yan.

Two explosions rang out, and two of Fu Guangtao's men were blasted away by the densely packed magic.

"Block them!" Fu Guangtao said in exasperation, not expecting Xu Yan and the others to dare launch an attack first.

Fu Guangtao's men immediately surrounded Xu Yan and the others, and a great battle broke out. Xu Yan and the others were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Xu Yan and the others killed three, but five were quickly taken down. They broke through Fu Guangtao and the others' encirclement and retreated south!

"Don't let them run away!" Zhao Shiyu's voice was shrill and distorted.

Nie Yan was riding on the Darkwing Dragon, which was flying across the sky. He looked down and saw a battle taking place at the edge of a distant forest with over a hundred people engaged in combat. Magic flew, and explosions burst out in dazzling lights, creating a chaotic scene.

That must be it. Nie Yan jumped down towards there.

Nie Yan's altitude decreased rapidly, and he quickly approached the ground, landing with a thud.

Xu Yan, Xia Tianyu, Fei Zhe, and the others were locked in a bitter struggle. They watched as one teammate after another was killed. The twenty-man team was reduced to only seven people. Although they had inflicted heavy damage on Fu Guangtao and Zhao Shiyu's team, killing seventeen, the opponents had too many people. They were simply inexhaustible, and they were surrounded on all sides.

"Don't let those three kids run away, be sure to make them drop their equipment for me!" Fu Guangtao shouted sharply.

With nearly a hundred people surrounding Xu Yan and the others, there was no way they could escape.

As more and more people gathered outside, their pressure increased, and their health was running low.

"Fei Zhe, Tianyu, it looks like we're going to die here this time," Xu Yan said with a wry smile.

"Get one kill if you can!" Xia Tianyu said. He activated the Spell Concentration effect, and three Pyroblast spells were cast in succession, blasting an enemy warrior away. His equipment was still quite formidable for ordinary players, and his spell damage was terrifying.

"I have a random teleport scroll here, who wants it?" Chu Chenghao said, pulling a random teleport scroll from his backpack.

"You use it yourself, you can still escape," Xu Yan said. At this time, a random teleport scroll was extremely precious.

"My equipment is trash, it's not a pity even if it's dropped, who wants it, hurry!" Chu Chenghao said seriously.

Xu Yan, Fei Zhe, and Xia Tianyu glanced at Chu Chenghao. Xu Yan next to Chu Chenghao punched him on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Brother!"

No one took the random teleport scroll from Chu Chenghao's hand.

They didn't have extra time to chat. Xu Yan charged forward, knocking a warrior away, and Fei Zhe followed up with two arrows, piercing the warrior's chest. Even though they were surrounded, their attacks were still sharp.

Watching the warrior's corpse fly past him, Fu Guangtao couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, still struggling to the death, warriors, charge!"

As soon as Fu Guangtao finished speaking, more than a dozen warriors activated Charge and rushed towards Xu Yan and the others.

Even if Xu Yan and the others had three heads and six arms, they wouldn't be able to escape this time. A hint of triumph flashed through Fu Guangtao's mind.

Just as Fu Guangtao thought he had it in the bag, a phantom flashed past, and three warriors fell to the ground, all instantly killed.

What's going on! Fu Guangtao was shocked. Before he could see what had happened, system notifications rang out one after another.

System: Your teammate Fuhua (lit. Superficial) has died.

System: Your teammate Kushu (lit. Withered Tree) has died.

......

Nie Yan was having a great time killing, as if he was in an uninhabited land. These people were basically one-hit kills for him. How could their meager health withstand Nie Yan's terrifying attack? Wherever he went, corpses fell all around.

Watching the shadow flash past, a warrior swung his sword down.

Nie Yan's movements were one step faster than his. He jumped up and performed a side kick, sweeping his foot across the warrior's neck. The warrior was kicked away, instantly killed!

Nie Yan supported himself with his right hand, deftly leaping several yards away to a paladin, and performed a backstab.

The paladin felt Nie Yan's approach and prepared to retreat in terror, but before he could take a step, Nie Yan's Zennarde's Sword struck his back, and with a thud, the paladin fell forward to the ground.

Nie Yan killed with a single move each, and in a short time, he had taken down more than twenty people. The enemies around Xu Yan and the others were instantly cleared.

Xu Yan and the others were somewhat dazed. They were originally in a desperate situation, but they didn't expect such a dramatic change to occur. Looking ahead, they saw a figure flash past. They couldn't even see who it was, but they saw one player after another falling to the ground.

Their hearts were also filled with chills. Who was that guy? He was too terrifying. Fortunately, he was here to help them.

"Damn it, who is that guy! Use magic to blast him!" Fu Guangtao shouted hysterically. Watching his teammates fall one after another, and not even knowing who the opponent was, this feeling was too terrifying.

Spells shot towards the figure.

The figure suddenly disappeared, and all the spells missed.

Then came a few more screams, and a few more people fell to the ground.

No one could stop Nie Yan from killing!

Nearly a hundred people were reduced to just over twenty in the blink of an eye, including seven or eight from the command department.

"Damn it, who the hell are you? Let us die knowing!" Fu Guangtao cursed angrily. Looking around, the surroundings were empty. The figure had disappeared into thin air. The few priests in the back cast Holy Light into the sky, covering an area of more than thirty yards around, but they still couldn't find Nie Yan.

The atmosphere was somewhat suffocating. They knew that Nie Yan, hidden in the darkness, had not left. Nie Yan was deciding their fate. Once Nie Yan decided to take their lives, none of them would survive.

Their fate was no longer in their own hands.

"Who are you, killing so many of us, and not even willing to leave your name?" Zhao Shiyu was also encountering this situation for the first time. Faced with the strong bloody and murderous aura in the air, her face turned pale. She could only let Fu Guangtao speak for her. After all, she was just a woman with good looks but no ability.

As for Bai Jun, he seemed calmer. He activated Eye of God and used it to scan the surroundings, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find Nie Yan's traces.

Eye of God is ineffective?

What he didn't know was that after Nie Yan advanced to Shadow Dancer, the stealth effect was greatly enhanced. Their low-level pupil skills were no longer effective against Nie Yan.

The surroundings were empty, without any sound. Then there were two more screams, and a flash of light, and two players next to Fu Guangtao and Bai Jun were instantly killed.

Nie Yan, hidden in the darkness, was like a death god pronouncing death. Whoever Nie Yan wanted to kill would not survive the next second.

Under the extreme speed, these players were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. This was a sense of pleasure and control of everything. Nie Yan once again had a deep understanding and shock at the strength of Shadow Dance. Any action he performed, even if it was very slow, was lightning fast in the eyes of ordinary players. When hunting enemies in stealth, if the opponent's speed couldn't keep up, they were simply doomed. A dancer of shadows, called a Shadow Dancer!

"Haven't you always wanted to know my level? Today, I'll let you die knowing." As the voice fell, Nie Yan's figure slowly emerged.
